A Monologue About Money
Money is an illusion
And money is only worth as much as we say it's worth
You see that 50 pound note safely tucked in the insides of your wallet
Is only as valuable as the institutions that govern and regulate your money say it is
I mean, what's really the difference between a 50 and a 100
Cost of producing a tenner, a 50, a 100 are probably the same
The only difference is the number printed on it
So if you're wondering how the governments profit off you
There you have your answer
They make you pay money for money
And then take back the money from you
After it's doubled or tripled or quadrupled or... whatever comes after
Let's put this into context, they print a 50 at the cost of 10p
You toil to earn that 50 and then save it in your bank
You think you have a 50, but it's true worth is 10p
Now the bank has successfully conned you
To help increase its total reserve by 40000%
What kind of racketeering is going on here
Before the financial Patriarch, Rothschild took over the global finance world
And influenced what will become today's banking system
What exactly did we earn
Well, people only cared for their needs
And were apparently less greedy than we are today
Consumerism is killing America yo
Some traded by barter; a direct transaction of goods and services
In exchange for other goods and services
Without using money as a medium of exchange
And now, money's gone virtual
Something I'm not even sure is real or should be legal in anyway
They display a bunch of zeros on your mobile screens
You got a mil on screen but you don't
You ever tried to walk into a bank and ask to get your money in cash
And see what hell they make you go through
It's cos they don't got it themselves
That's why I don't believe in money as a measure of wealth
Such a useless thing to have
A worthless gift to offer anyone
If i give you 10 euros now yeah, you get a burger and that's it
That's it? Cos two hours later, you're hungry again
Especially if you're like Isaac
So money will buy you some security, but never peace
It will get you treatment, but never health
Money will buy you admiration, but never friendship
It will get you comfort, but never immortality
Some time, but never eternity
So however you wanna slice this pie
Just know that the money you think you possess is an illusion
And the rich and mighty made it so
And money is only worth as much as we say it's worth
You see that 50 pound note safely tucked in the insides of your wallet
Is only as valuable as the institutions that govern and regulate your money say it is
I mean, what's really the difference between a 50 and a 100
Cost of producing a tenner, a 50, a 100 are probably the same
The only difference is the number printed on it
